Homemade Clothes

Sorry if this has been asked before...

I hate clothes shops. Well, most of them.
The stuff I buy is plain, somewhat colourful, reasonably priced and fits - but for some reason it's getting harder to find clothes like this.
To tell the truth, shopping has become unbearable.
Enough moaning, it's time to do something about it...

Does anyone have any advice/info/suggestions on making your own clothes?
Is it worth the time and effort?

i find it easier to just customize clothes to fit rather than make them from scratch tbh
